The Office of Science is pleased to announce monthly virtual office hours to share information and provide opportunities to ask questions about our six research programs and two research and development and production offices. Researchers at all institutions are welcome to attend and learn more about our programs; no existing relationship with DOE or the DOE national laboratories is required to attend. Research administrators are also encouraged to attend.
Office hours will take place on the schedule below for each program office. Topics will vary each month. The office hour will be in the form of a zoom meeting, starting with a brief presentation on the monthly topic, followed by questions. Program managers will be available to answer questions from the community. Click on the topic below to register for one of the office hours.
